Hazard Characterization describes,
• Pathogen concerned– serotypes, virulence, toxins, etc
• Population involved, susceptible, at risk
• Vehicle foods – contaminated, protect pathogens against stomach acid,
inactivate pathogens or inhibit proliferation
• Dose response: how likely to get ill?

Data for dose-response
• Pathogen dose ingested– concentration in food – food amount taken
• Attack rate (or P(infection), P(death), etc.)– population exposed– infected, ill, dead, etc.

Analysis of outbreak data (1989 – 1998) with Salmonella concentrations in
implicated foods:
In total 39 outbreak reports were collected, and they were divided into 5
categories upon settings.

Outbreaks occurred at schools
• Ages of pupils in an elementary school are 6 to 12.
• Most schools serve the same lunch menu to all of their pupils on a single day.
• All the pupils in the school are reasonably considered to be the exposed population in those outbreaks.
• The exposed population to the contaminated food is usually very large

Outbreaks occurred at daycare centers
• The age of children is less than 1 up to 6 years old.
• In general, the size of daycare population is smaller than that of schools and each daycare has its own kitchen in most places.
• Therefore the exposed populations were smaller than those of school cases.
• Attack rates were higher than those in school outbreaks, which might reflect the susceptibility of the population.

• Kitchens vary in size, the scale of outbreaks also differs.
• Amounts of ingested food were not always specified in the original reports, and assumptions were often made to estimate ingested dose of pathogens.
• The food storage conditions were also different among the outbreaks.
Outbreaks occurred at restaurants, hotels, caterers, and other business
kitchens(20 outbreaks)

Summary of my talk (1)Food-storing system• Might be a good example of co-operation of
management and assessment.• Existing measures helped data collection for risk
assessment.• Very useful for developing dose-response models.• Need to encourage local authorities to continue
enumeration of causative microbes.– May need additional mechanism, cost supply.

F. Kasuga1st Int Conf MRA
Summary of my talk (2)Outbreak reports• Not always comprehensive, improvement of
epidemiological investigation and report formatting needed.
• Case definition, recognition of foodborne outbreak is not systematically defined.– Underestimation of reported cases.
• Many outbreak reports are useful.• Translating to English under discussion.• Current summary to be available.
